Marantz AV10 AV Processor Review

[Oddball]

You can search Audy vs Dirac and you will be in luck. Even couple of month of reading in spare time will not clear the mud. There are no real measurements in controlled environment, but some helpful measurements from enthusiasts.

IMO, humble as it is, if you want it simple DLBC would be your choice. If you are super picky or have system with full towers you might find Audy more customisable.

On a separate matter, if you really want to find out the difference, you will need to try it in your room and spend countless hours comparing and debating which one is better.

Sorry could have not helped more, but just added some additional parameters to your dilemma.

Even the possibility of ground loops plummets when you use the 88xx and AV10 over their less spendy receivers. I've observed a couple dozen of examples when people switched to a newer 77xx and heard ground loops when they didn't from an older 88xx series.

Sorry for a old reply, but why would the AV10 be less susceptible to ground loops? As someone with a Marantz AV7706 which suffers from massive ground loop hum (connected via XLR to Hypex NC502MP based amplifiers) unless i ground-lift my PC this is very interesting to me!
